(Real life, real spiritual life, is this Vaiṣṇava philosophy. Vaiṣṇava philosophy: to associate with the Supreme Personality of Godhead face to face) 
"And nirvāṇa, nirvāṇa, the Buddha philosophy, is just above the material conditional life but on the margin of spiritual existence. That is . . . nirvāṇa means void of material existence. Nirvāṇa, this impersonal conception is also nirvāṇa.
Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu said that this impersonal philosophy is another phase of the void philosophy. Covered void philosophy. Impersonalism is covered void philosophy. They are all the same. Śaṅkara's philosophy of impersonalism and Lord Buddha's philosophy void is almost the same.
Real life, real spiritual life, is this Vaiṣṇava philosophy. Vaiṣṇava philosophy: to associate with the Supreme Personality of Godhead face to face. Just like we are sitting here face to face. We are talking; you are hearing. You can have this perfection. That is personal conception of spiritual perfection."
